    Beef Roast Simmered In Red Wine (Brasato Al Barolo)

      Getting ahead of the holiday panic  Thanksgiving and Christmas are stealthily creeping up on us, and are about to jump from behind a door and scream, “BOO!!!!”. I thought I’d head them off at the pass and get you thinking about an idea to make for the holidays already, so you won’t be so…
